ANNISTON, Alabama -- Anniston Police say they are investigating reports that a woman was strangled by her ex-boyfriend last night.

The incident occurred about 6 p.m. Thursday, Capt. Allen George said. A 23-year-old Anniston woman went to the home of her 21-year-old ex-boyfriend in the 2400 block of Adams Street.

She told police that she went there to pick up some of her belongings and drop off some of his. When she entered, the man hit her in the back of her head with a flyswatter, then punched her. The man then put his hands to her throat and began choking her until she passed out, the woman said.

When she woke up, he punched her in the face and injured her chest by hitting her with a window blind. The woman called a friend to pick her up, and the man took her phone away from her and threw it at her. She then left.

George said the woman refused medical attention, but investigators observed bruising on her eye, marks on her chest and hand marks on her throat. There have been no arrests in relation to the report.
